52 THE SPANISH WORD-BOOK. 

The second and third Conjugations being 
so similar to each other the blank spaces 
are left, as any person in the third Conju- 
gation being sought for, will be found in its 
corresponding place in the second. 

The use of this table will be obvious to 
the Spanish student, if he compare a verb 
throughout all its inflexions with the termi- 
nations given. 

If he wishes to express any particular 
person in Spanish, let him after seeking in 
the dictionary for the verb, (which he will 
there find in the infinitive,) cast oflf the 
final ar, er, or ir, and apply the root to the 
particular termination desired ; for example, 
if he wishes to express, " 1 shall finish, ' 
he will find in the dictionary, to finish, 
acabar, cast off the ar, as that is the mark 
of the infinitive, and apply the root or part 
remaining, to the first person of the future 
tense of the first Conjugation, which will 
form acabare, I shall finish; and so of any 
other tense and person.
